I bought several K a while back. I've use them in S&W Shield, Springfield XD and S&W 357 revolver. Haven't had any failures with them
One thing to watch out for is that they have a slightly...

I've bought several thousand of these and they're working fine in my Rossi 92 357, and S&W revolver.

Indiana has similar restrictions on public land but, does not stipulate straight wall cases. I have a 35 Rem Handi Rifle- I trim the cases to 1.8" and it's legal. Legal calibers on private property...

I have, for a long time, used a carriage bolt head to flare the checks. Perhaps not the fastest way to do it, but serves me well.

I remember being in a Dick's Sporting Goods years ago and overheard the sales person telling a fellow that they had a 30-06 muzzleloader in the gun rack.

I've been buying from 'em since the 1980s. Never had an issue with them.

They have been spotted in southern Indiana also.

Don't have a chrony but I shoot pc'd cast through my 35 rem using a top load of Leverevelution. Good accuracy, no leading.

I most always carry a small pocket knife. I like this one because it's personalized- it says "Old Timer" right on a small metal insert.

We cancelled Dish about 3 years ago and are using roku. We subscribed to Philo ($20 per month) because it carries the 3 Hallmark channels which the wife likes to watch. Not much in the way of sports...

We have used this same scale for a few years. it has served us well.
My wife recently discarded a wooden meat tenderizing hammer. I drilled out one end with a spade bit and filled with lead. Works well enough for most of my light needs.

My wife is a quilter also. She uses her rotary cutter and knocks out a couple hundred patches in no time, using scrape from t-shirt quilts. I haven't bought patches in years.

My wife is a crafter and she uses Gutermmans HT 2 glue for making purses. I've used it to fasten a butt pad to my Rossi 92, which has a steel plate....

I cast mostly clip on weights. Boolits from a NOE 360 182 gr. WFN mold, PC'd and gas checked, loaded over max loads of LVR, shot from my H&R 35 Rem., group around 1.5" at 100 yards without leading....

I shoot these in my Rossi 92. No gas check but I powder coat. No leading issue. However, I usually load fairly light.

For years, I've used a carriage bolt to slightly flare gas checks. Just a slight tap with a hammer usually suffices.
